There’s nothing like a funny meat quote. There is no meat in my eggplant caponata and I’m sorry to disappoint you, I don’t have a funny meat quote either. But I have a good recipe for all who despise the meat and all who are embarking on a Lenten journey. <br />In Sicily caponata is a popular, picturesque and refreshing summer dish of eggplants and tomatoes a.k.a. “taste of Sicilian passionate kiss of the sun”. With caponata, I’m bringing Sicily home and hoping the sun will tag along, but served warm alongside mashed potatoes or pasta I find it nourishing enough even for cold days. <br /> <br /> <br />I love how versatile this dish is: serve with crusty bread for a hearty appetizer, warm or cold, as a side dish or vegetarian main dish. The spiciness is perfectly paired up with sweetness and nuttiness of the eggplant. <br />
